Roman Remains in Leicester

As building developments continued along Great Central Street and Vaughan Way in the city center, a team of archaeologists from The University Of Leicester discovered several roman buildings and the biggest preserved mosaic found in the city for 30 years.  Also found among the ruins of the site thought to be over 1,500 years old where pots, cooking utensils, brooches and a rare sunken room thought to be a possible shrine. My video shows a number of details at the site as it was opened up to a public eager to view the ruins of the cities roman past. For further information on the dig please visit the ULAS website.

The Bluebell Wood nr Fosse Park Leicester

Every year around April/May a small area of ancient woodland between Leicester`s Fosse park and Junction 21 of the M1 Motorway bursts into colorful life as a bed of beautiful bluebells form a swaying carpet of color below the trees. The birds sing from branches high as sunlight shines though the leaves, creating a magical oasis of calm just meters away from busy traffic filled roads. As I take in the scene the motorists pass by unaware of the beauty nearby as they rush form place to place. My film gives an idea of the relaxing and tranquil scene.
